I think it would be great if we clubbed together to generate a set of REBOL scripts for the computer language shoot-out.
As has already been suggested, we could collaborate on the ML to develop and refine solutions. And, ditto, it'd make sense to have a thread per REBOL script. To start the ball rolling, I've picked what is probably the easiest one of all: sum-file -- that'll help us get out heads around the various requirements. My draft solution looks like this: ---------- rebol [] sum: 0 foreach line read/lines to-file system/script/args [ sum: sum + to integer! trim line ] print sum quit ---------- This needs a command line (cos REBOL doesn't read STDIN) something like: rebol sum-file.r sum-file-data.txt And it is **not** a valid solution as the requirements say: "Programs should write to stdout. Program output is redirected to a log-file and compared to the expected output." As far as I know, that simply isn't possible with REBOL -- it does not write to STDOUT -- so we may want to stop the whole exercise right now until that issue is resolved. Please comment!
